Bullets are projectiles used as ammunition for firearms in Crimson Desert. The in-game description reads: "Spherical metal bullets fired using the explosive force of gunpowder. Since each shot consumes a significant amount of gunpowder, they are difficult to use as frequently as arrows."
Bullets are the standard ammunition for firearms such as pistols, muskets, and shotguns. They cost more than arrows at 3 Silver each, reflecting the higher resource cost of gunpowder-based weaponry. Despite the added expense, bullets deliver powerful single-shot damage that complements the slower, more deliberate firing cadence of firearm combat.

The recipe for bullets must be unlocked before crafting becomes available. The higher Iron Ore requirement (2 pieces compared to 1 for arrows) reflects the denser metal needed for firearm projectiles.
Bullets serve as the primary ammunition for all firearm-type ranged weapons. When a firearm is equipped, each shot consumes one bullet from the player's inventory. Bullets are loaded into the dedicated ammo slot and can be swapped with other projectile types through the Quick Equipment Slots radial menu.
Because each bullet consumes a significant amount of gunpowder, firearms have a slower rate of fire compared to bows. However, the damage per shot is considerably higher. Players who favor firearm combat should maintain a healthy stockpile of bullets, since running out mid-fight forces a switch to melee or bow combat.
Bullets are heavier and more expensive than arrows. If cost is a concern, reserve them for boss encounters and tougher enemies.
Craft bullets in bulk when you have excess Iron Ore. Buying from vendors is convenient but adds up quickly at 3 Silver per bullet.
Keep a stack of arrows as a backup in case you run low on bullets during extended exploration.
